Russia warns Israel against attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities

Russia warned Israel against even a hypothetical possibility of an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities as it would be “catastrophic,” said Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov.
“We have repeatedly warned and continue to warn and caution [Israel] against even hypothetically considering the possibility of an attack on [Iran’s] nuclear facilities and nuclear infrastructure. This would be a catastrophic development and a complete rejection of the existing postulates in the sphere of nuclear security,” the senior diplomat said, reported TASS.
On the evening of October 1, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the elite unit of Iran’s armed forces, launched a massive ballistic and hypersonic missile attack against Israel in retaliation for the deaths of top leaders of Hamas, Hezbollah and the IRGC.
Tehran said that 90% of the missiles successfully hit their designated targets.
On October 11, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a press conference in Laos that carrying out threats to strike Tehran’s peaceful nuclear facilities in response to an Iranian missile attack on Israel would be a very serious provocation.
